Little Kerbonaut!

Two days ago I was making it to Minmus, four days ago I was making it to the Mun for the first time. And today I made it to Duna for the first time. The SSTO was crewed by Jebediah and Bill and midway through the flight I noticed I was not in a transfer window but I ended up being able to get into a orbit around Duna and actually saw Ike for the first time.

The first time I was trying to land I landed on the dark side of Mun so I suspect the solar panels didn’t get sun light since the Mun blocked it or it didn’t have connection to the KSC. When I tried landing on the Mun a second time I tried landing on the light side of the Mun so the solar panels would still get sun light. The same problem happened but now I know it’s probably connection to KSC and not the panels getting enough sunlight.

Oh ok thanks!

I added a probe core and a satellite to it. But I’m thinking about changing it out for a larger satellite.

Ok, what I plan on doing is using the second stage since it should have fuel left over to help slow it down and when that stage drains I use the Skycrane to slow it down more. But yesterday I tried landing the rover with just the Skycrane and it wasn’t turning or controlling it’s throttle.

Oh ok, but am I more likely to crash when trying to land then on the Mun or am I less likely to crash?

Thank you! Do you know the amount of meters per second you have to be going though?

Heading to Minmus Status: Success Crew: Jebediah and Bill Today I visited the most delicious moon of the Kerbal system Minmus. I basically thought it would be like getting to the Mun and it was, but just had to move the Prograde handle farther out. After that I waited to get in the SOI and did a capture burn. Finally I made a maneuver to get into a Minmus orbit, and next time I think I am ready to send some other Kerbals to Minmus.

I know right.

Sure, but it may be a while since I am still figuring it out.

So I am trying to get a rover down to the Mun surface. But their is one problem I don’t know what to use to get it down I tried monopropellant engines but that just flipped the craft. I want to try parachutes but I don’t know if they can work when trying to get down to the lunar surface. Does anyone else have any ideas that isn’t to hard to build and fit on a small rover? I got it to work with the monopropellant, but still feel free to list your ideas.

Oh ok, thanks for telling me.

Here is yet another mission report. Status: Success Crew: Jebediah and Bill Here’s the story: I was using my SSTO called Nuke-12 to get into a lunar orbit and I actually did. I just a made a maneuver to get a Mun Encounter. Then once that was done I time warped to get into the Mun’s SOI. Next I burned Retrograde to do a capture burn (I think that’s what it’s called). Finally I made a maneuver to get into a Lunar Orbit. There was a few problems like accidently messing up the orbit while circularizing and passing the maneuver time of one of the maneuvers. (I am working on a picture)

So I was trying to send my SSTO to the Mun. I did all the maneuvers you had to do to get into a Mun encounter, but when it came to trying to get sucked into the Mun’s SOI I failed to do it. So does anyone know where the Mun’s SOI is I think it’s when you touch the “Mun encounter marker” but I don’t know. Anyone who does know please reply.

Oh, okay thanks!

Oh, I forgot in game minutes or different then real life minutes. I am going to choose in game minutes.

Hello again, today i have another challenge that isn't to hard but isn't to easy. The challenge is to send a space station into Kerbin Orbit in 15 minutes or less bonus points if you can get into a Mun orbit in 15 minutes or less. It doesn't matter the size of the space station or the height of the orbit. My best time I believe was 12 minutes. Points: 14 minutes: 5 points 10 minutes: 10 points 5 minutes: 15 points (I don't know if this is realistic) 14 minutes into a Mun orbit: 10 points 10 minutes into a Mun orbit: 20 points 5 minutes into a Mun orbit: 50 points (I really doubt this is realistic but who knows.)

I can see where you were you are coming from. When I first bought the game I knew I wasn’t getting to space easily. But when I bought it on steam (I played on xbox first) I had some experience, but didn’t know the key-binds until I started looking it up and going through trainings. And now I know a lot more about rockets then I did before.

What is your favorite thing of KSP 1? For me it is the graphics although the graphics aren't the best, I am so used to them that I will be sad to see them go.

Hi, I commonly see my SSTO’S steering left even though I am not holding down any keys. It mostly happens to all my craft that I put on the runway. Now I don’t know if it has something to do with the aerodynamic forces hitting the craft at a certain angle. Does anyone else have the same problem or is it just me.

Oh, ok!

Oh, ok I have another question. What is the little green line on the bar? Does it mean green is good, grey is ok, and red is bad?

I don't know how to read the bar that shows how many G'S your kerbals are going through, I know when it reaches the red marker it's pretty high. But the little lines I don't know how to read. If anyone knows how to red the bar can you please tell me.

I was able to put add the link in the text, but I don't know if that's breaking the rules so I got rid of it.

What do you mean "text box"? Do you mean where you type your posts/replies or in the "Insert image from URL" button?
